[Sybil Thornton]

Well,In Germany, the thinking has always been that the graduates of humanities institutions make better doctors and assets to companies like Siemens.Cheers,SAT Sybil Thornton, MA, PhD (Cantab) Associate Professor, Premodern Japanese History School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-4302 Tel: 480-965-5778 Fax: 480-965-0310

I truely hope those seeing it as a great opportunity will stick to that interpretation.  I am concerned, for time and again, the private ones also jump when the Ministry says Jump, e.g. make campuses in the country side, then ten years later, move into the city.

Would only add that most, including the privates, are appalled by this move: the "great opportunity" has more to do with the commitment to strengthen humanities and social sciences outside of the national universities.

 Does anyone have information as to how far private universities are prepared to follow the commands?  

I met the chancellor of Josai University today and she said the privates "see this as a great opportunity."
